Les Mills Taranaki Street

Positive experience: Nice clean gym but if any staff are seeing this you guys NEED TO FIX THE AC OR TURN THE FANS ON!!! It is so boiling in there (especially in the woman’s gym and when it’s busy) that it’s really miserable

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t beat the vibe at Les Mills Taranaki Street – best club ever!

Positive experience: I recently decided to cancel my Les Mills membership early (including paying the early termination fee) as I do not think the membership fees justify the experience. The gym floors often resemble a bomb site with weights and equipment strewn everywhere. Essentially you are paying 4x what you would pay at any other gym for the luxury of a 3-person committee saying "Hi" and "Bye" to you at the reception. Also, be aware that, if you sign up for a 12 month contract, the only way that you can get out early if your circumstances change or (like me) you do not consider the price to be justified is by paying the early termination fee. This is not mentioned during your orientation (which is legally dubious at best). In my view, if you are confident about the quality of service that you are providing, you should not require minimum period contracts with early termination fees (there are very low acquisition costs for new members that need to be recouped). The price probably only makes sense if you are taking the classes. However, if you are just interested in lifting tin and using the treadmill, you are effectively cross-subsidising people who go to classes. If you are looking to start your fitness journey or just looking for a new gym, I would highly recommend a gym like City Fitness as a great alternative. It is far, far cheaper, the equipment is just as good (gravity doesn't vary too much between gyms, so 20kg at City Fitness is the same as 20kg at Les Mills) and they have more gyms around the country, so you can usually find a gym if you are in a different city or town.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff, lots of equipment. Can’t get crowded at busy times.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time here when I was a member! Great classes, great selection of machines. After reading up on the gym situation in Wellington I was a little worried about what would happen when I had to cancel, but it couldn’t have been easier! I’d recommend being upfront if you think you might have to/want to cancel soon after joining (I was only in Wellington for a fixed time) and they’ll get you the best membership for your situation. I’d especially recommend the step class for a great studio workout and The Trip for the best/weirdest spin class ever.

Fantastic experience: La meilleure salle de sport de Wellington!

Fantastic experience: Was able to come in due to the upgrade at the hutt gym, the facilities were much newer than the ones at the hutt, and there was also shampoo etc dispensers available, wished they accepted card payments as well. Love how there’s a cafe downstairs very convenient.

Positive experience: Perfect gym! Great classes. I just wish they were open late till on weekends as with shift works when I finish work they are closed already at 7 on Sat and Sunday.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. 5 or more floors, heaps of space. Lots of equipment and never too crowded.

Fantastic experience: Nice place!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great classes and equipment

Negative experience: Really cannot warn you away from this place enough. I was misled in the conversation about joining with Soyam where I was told I would be able to cancel my membership, the only concern I raised, and was reassured that I was getting a great deal. I was also encouraged to skip over reading the terms and conditions of the contract being told that it was just the same terms as had been discussed. I was fooled by the fancy atmosphere into thinking this place is above board but it operates like any dodgy sales business. I'm now being told that I cannot cancel without paying out my remaining contract which is completely at odds with what I was told in the gym, but as it was an in person conversation they refuse to follow up. Stay away, go somewhere cheaper and more honest.

Fantastic experience: I have taken this route before but was a good trip

Negative experience: 3 virtual spin classes in a row the video, audio, or both havent worked at one point... totally pointless.

Fantastic experience: I spent a morning here while visiting Welly. Awesome gym, great team.

Negative experience: Great gym but 95% of attendees are rude af who don’t clean up their weights or wipe down equipment, trainers don’t do piss all and just stand there taking up multiple machines with no consideration for general gym goers. Why can’t the PTs idk, help keep the gym a little nicer to be in? Why does everyone here think it’s okay to leave their weights everywhere they go?

Fantastic experience: The size of this gym is INSANE. I was like a kid dropped in a toy store with unlimited credit

Positive experience: Crazy friendly staff. Great vibes - was just a bit shocked that there was no dumbbells in the entire gym over 30kgs. Seemed like I was at planet fitness in the US. Always thought of Mills as being a top level gear kinda place. Still 4 stars due to friendliness- 1 star dropped for average equipment, small dumbbells and $30 single session, that’s 2 months membership at snap and their dbs go to 45

Fantastic experience: Lesmills

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym

Fantastic experience: This fitness studio is absolutely amazing! The variety of group fitness classes is outstanding, with something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or advanced. The instructors bring such great energy and motivation to every session, making each class fun and challenging. The personal trainers are also top-notch—friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to help you reach your fitness goals. The community vibe is so welcoming, and it’s a place where you feel truly supported on your fitness journey. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, the best gym equipment, effective classes my body is in even better shape after a couple of weeks of spin classes and extras like saunas.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities, friendly staff and the frequency & intensity of the fitness classes means there’s always something for everyone.

Negative experience: Used to be top but now its hard to get a workout in without tripping over people filming their workouts. Saunas are far too small and they've prioritised offers for new members (joining from gyms that have closed down) over existing patrons. Equipment is nice but there are less machines on the floor than 5 years ago so expect to wait. Struggles during peak times and opening hours are otherwise restrictive. In decline.

Fantastic experience: Love the gym, Les mills training, friendly staff and flexible plans for anyone to get started. Highly recommended for newbies and it’s @the city with better parking options!

Negative experience: Poorly managed, mostly by the young part time receptionists who single out members they don't like. I can't understand why anyone would pay in excess of 100 per month for a service that consists of a disingenuous "hello", 'goodbye" at reception; no "hey would you like a spot"; or a scolding for not putting a weight away on the odd occasion; and of course opening hours that absolutely suck, as in no 24 hours access. It's like a bank, airline and other multi national corporations, where the management hides behind a coalface of dumbies and genuine concerns are ignored, so long as the money keeps rolling in.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Been a regular on/off gym goer here for over 25 years. It's a great gym family. p.s. rate the New Lynn facility highly as well.

Positive experience: This is a brilliant gym with excellent facilities, many different classes, and friendly staff. I have enjoyed going there for the last two years. I wish they had gyms like this one in more places! ***BUT*** when it comes to cancelling your membership, it is some kind of mystical saga. Advice - get everything in writing (emails) so you can get your refund if things go south. I was charged $300+ of membership fees, and I am currently waiting for a refund.

Fantastic experience: Really big gym to do any kind of exercise! They have plenty of activities everyday included in the price. There is even a sauna to relax! People is very kind!

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym with high-quality, clean equipment, excellent classes, friendly staff, and spacious facilities. Gary at reception is particularly friendly and responsive to any issues. There are lots of showers (although not always enough in the mornings), Dyson and GHD hair tools, and a clean sauna. There’s often enough space for floor exercises, and a big range of machines and equipment. I highly recommend it!

Positive experience: Nice cafe, pretty expensive though e.g $9.50 for a toastie. Nice stuff though

Fantastic experience: Favorite place for good classes and good sweat. People are really nice and equipment is awesome

Fantastic experience: "Get Tough at Les Mills Taranaki Street" - I've done 210 full pushups after work in January 2024! I go into maximum overdrive adrenaline rush from the high-energy music to pump me up! The motivating music is so awesome that I crazily do back-to-back-to-back group fitness classes in a row. Big thanks to the hot, superstar group fitness instructors for having two intense & long cardio tracks at the end of BodyCombat and BodyAttack. Many thanks to the super-friendly reception staff and the excellent cleaning team. Heaps of thanks and praises to the founder, Uncle Les!!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean facilities, awesome classes. Gary at the front desk is a gem.

Fantastic experience: I love coming here, the facilities are always clean, and the staff greet you with a smile. I highly recommend the classes, the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful (especially Hans who even incorporates Te Reo Māori in body balance

Fantastic experience: The best gym in town. Excellent equipment. Information on each machine to help you and friendly helpful staff. Great vibes all round

Negative experience: Tried to cancel my membership here and after going in 5 times and almost 6 weeks and 145 unnecessary dollars paid later it finally got cancelled and I won’t even get a refund even tho it wasn’t even my fault. For such a high price the customer service is terrible

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for more than 10 years, and I actually still go there. It's hard to get yourself to the gym some days, LM Taranaki St makes it worthwhile once you get there. Good classes, good gear and its always clean and well maintained. And it's big. You don't know everyone. That's the best thing when you are red-faced, sweaty and falling over in a class or struggling on a machine.

Fantastic experience: Second best gym in welly after clinic active

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of classes to choose from. Friendly staff and clean. Nice little cafe downstairs.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and tons of space so you never feel as though you are needing to look over your shoulder for hazards or people trying to get by. Nice changing and shower rooms and top location. 30$ for 24 hour pass for people passing through which means and evening and morning workout fit into one pass.

Fantastic experience: Wow cannot sum up this facility better! Les Mills really exceeded my expectation! This was my first time visiting Les Mills with my good friend who is a member there. Clean, equipped for everything!

Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym in Wellington (that's not necessarily a grand compliment for those used to top range gyms overseas). Good range of equipment in decent condition.

Fantastic experience: Great staff - worked with three different trainers and they did not disappoint. Gary at the front desk remembers many of the thousands of clients. Excellent facilites.

Fantastic experience: Try The Trip.

Fantastic experience: Lovely facilities. Clean and tidy.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Hands down.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in wellington.

Negative experience: Very expensive for a gym that is not 24/7

Fantastic experience: Great space and equipment. Love the spinning and body balance classes.

Positive experience: Pricey but all the machine and equipment you could want. Corporate and student discounts make it!

Fantastic experience: The only club in NZ to be a member of...its a family..super modern gear, cool staff and members..go Les Mills

Positive experience: Too overcrowded, sometimes have to wait for equipment, not good airflow, but perfect place if you’re looking for attention and your training depends on busy environment…

Fantastic experience: A good city gym - building, facilities, staff. (Lambton Quay, though smaller, is also good - one subscription covers both).

Fantastic experience: Great gym!!! The cleaners there are awesome thanks Dulcie and Soyan for keeping this place amazing oh yes awesome equipment.

Fantastic experience: Plenty of rooms & equipments. Fun exercise classes. Cleanliness is also a priority here. Can see all the hard work that the whole Les Mills staff has put in to help keep the gym running really

Negative experience: Have worked out here back in November-December while working in Wellington, Its a great gym except the fact that the people really don't care about the rules, you would find people filming while working out, which bothered me as I don't want to be in anyone's workout video or TikTok and have to be on constant lookout on that, also the men's locker room rules have strictly no nudity which is a joke, you'd find people roaming around with no clothes. I hope the gym makes the rules a bit strict for everyone.

Positive experience: It's a nice place to do exercise but recently they got a lot of new members which made it difficult to do your work out. Members are more than the available facilities.

Fantastic experience: Lovely large gym with everything you might need. Love the sauna! Personal trainer Diego has helped me heaps in my fitness journey. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in a way that it finally make sense to me! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Massive gym with a huge range of equipment. I bought a day pass (as I’m travelling) for $30, which seemed quite expensive, until they told me I could also use it tomorrow! Happy with the value for 2 sessions.

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: Staff always greet you like your a super star!!!

Positive experience: Spacey. Good courses. The men changing room was a bit stinky

Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Aircon near the cardio gear is very useful.

Positive experience: Excellent gym, just wish I could afford it!

Fantastic experience: Good place to work out. Only issue is parking as there is no free parking unlike in Lower Hutt. But amenities are great.

Fantastic experience: Definitly the most equipt and popular mainstream gym group in the city. facilities are great

Negative experience: Les Mills is a great facility. However their response to request for a different membership plan or fee waive for having to leave the country (to bury a family member and settle belongings and unable to return because of immigration) also financial contraints from pandemic. Their response: The only way buyout fee's can be waived is due medical circumstance, that prevent you from returning to the gym for life. As this is not the circumstance use are in the buyout fee is payable It might just feel like the world is crumbling at the moment and that’s why it feels like a gut punch.

Fantastic experience: Amzeing place and helpful staff. One week free trail for such a amazing gym. I am so greatful. Looking forward for my next training session.

Positive experience: Terrific, large-scale gym facility. Plenty of space and equipment. The staff however seemed displeased to have me there. I felt genuinely unwelcome. The woman at reception however, was lovely as I left ‍♂️ They do let you grunt when doing heavy reps. That’s something they have over CityFitness.

Positive experience: All in all, the high caliber you would expect from the Les Mills brand! A great place to workout, with ample locker rooms. Not quite as flash as the Auckland Vic Park facility (and parking is a challenge for those who plan to drive in) but am very happy with Les Mills Taranaki :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great central location. Four floors of gym space, fully equipped with a huge range of facilities and equipment, huge range of fitness classes. Cafe and chill out area on the ground floor. Friendly staff and instructors.

Positive experience: Terrific, large-scale gym facility. Plenty of space and equipment. The staff however seemed displeased to have me there. I felt genuinely unwelcome. The woman at reception however, was lovely as I left ????‍♂️ They do let you grunt when doing heavy reps. That’s something they have over CityFitness.

Fantastic experience: Good place to work out. Only issue is parking as there is no free parking unlike in Lower Hutt. But amenities are great.

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite les mills I've been to. So beautiful, so big. I love it, I rate it

Fantastic experience: Large gym with great facilities, especially their large and well equipped bike studio with large projectors. Eye candy too lol

Fantastic experience: Great friendly people absolutely clean facilities,always a pleasure to enter these premises

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Positive experience: Went there for the salad. Excellent salad

Fantastic experience: Awesome building big place not bad parking excellent staff

Positive experience: Great variety of gear. Staff tend to be unfriendly and not genuine.

Negative experience: In 2017, I signed up a membership at LesMills, the staff knew that I was holding a tourist visa and that I was applying for permanent visa, and he told me that in case the visa was not granted it will be fine me to cancel the membership without pay fee. But I needed to leave the country, because the Imigration canceled my visa. I email the LesMills team to cancel my membership but they didn’t cancel and it was debiting from my bank account. I have been trying to regularize my situation but no one have competence to do it yet. I am really disappointed with the LesMills Team.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff, clean facilities

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Wellington. 12 squat racks?!?! Nek lev.

Fantastic experience: good gym not fat any more so was a good experience

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. The facilities, the classes, the staff everything makes it totally worth it!! They even handled social distancing quite well during COVID. Been going here for almost 2 years and will continue to.

Fantastic experience: You can't beat a clean gym with good staff.

Fantastic experience: This is my go to gym in Wellington. Really clean. Equipment is really good. and the staff and instructors are awesome!

Fantastic experience: I'm really enjoying Les Mills Taranaki and wished I joined years ago. The facilities are excellent and all the staff and class instructors have been so friendly and helpful. The classes have been a highlight for me, there's a big range and I've seen results quickly from going to a few GRIT and Bodypump classes a week.

Fantastic experience: The best way to shake off the winter blues in Wellington!!! Smash out a high quality class at LM and come away feeling great The instructors are always friendly and on form to take your workout to the next level. Why train alone?!

Fantastic experience: Insanely good.... they gave me 30 days free trial. I had walked past many times but never ventured in, i have spent over 40 years in gyms arouund the world but this is outstanding and the staff are friendly and helpful i couldnt ask for better. Yes its more expensive BUT this gym represents excellent value for the money you pay. Thanks for the tour and break down of the multiple areas for training :-)

Fantastic experience: Good place to work out

Fantastic experience: Organized gym.

Fantastic experience: Great, big, complete and have nice atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Awesome community, great classes, great facilities

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and wonderful staff. The price is worth it for what they provide

Positive experience: Plenty of equipment and space to work out compared to other gyms around town.

Fantastic experience: Nothing to complain, good fun place for a great workout.

Positive experience: Very complete gym with lots of classes to offer. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The gym offers a great variety of classes and with the app, it is super easy to organise your routine and schedule your roster. Sometimes the room is too crowded making the workout difficult and very impersonal.
